Acts, laws, ordinances, and Code (KCC); and court rulings.

State and County legislative actions broadly addressing environmental quality, and more specifically regarding stormwater control and water quality; court action regarding legislative actions.

Comprehensive Plan

Articulates long-range growth and land use planning to support "resilient, healthy, diverse, and sustainable communities"; with specific elements to "protect resources and enhance quality of life". Prior to GMA, KCC drove Comp Plan; after GMA, Comp Plan drives KCC.

Basin Plans and Analysis

Environmental protection / improvement plans for specific basins and resources.

Stormwater PermitsStormwater ManualsStormwater Pollution Prevention Plans

Stormwater manuals and pollution prevention plans are implementations of stormwater permits. Over time, stormwater management has evolved additively from moving water away from structures -> flood control -> erosion control -> water quality treatment and pollution prevention.

TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load)

"A planning tool and potential starting point for restoration or protection activities with the ultimate goal of attaining or maintaining water quality standards". When called out in a state stormwater permit, has regulatory weight to drive cleanup and pollution prevention initiatives.

Bear Creek Watershed focus

Laws, permits, stormwater manuals, etc. with a Bear Creek Watershed nexus; i.e., calling out or uniquely specific to Bear Creek Watershed.
